Beautiful Beloved

by Christina Lauren

Part of Beautiful Bastard, book 3.6

First published 2015

Max Stella and Sara Dillon have mastered the art of balancing love and lust across six books of steamy adventures. The British finance expert and his whip-smart American partner have turned their New York City romance into something deeper while keeping their bedroom antics decidedly public and creative. Now they face their biggest challenge yet. Sara cradles their newborn baby, watching Max fumble with diaper changes and feeding schedules. The couple who once lived for spontaneous club encounters and elaborate sexual games must figure out how to maintain their intense physical connection while caring for a tiny human who demands constant attention. Late night feedings replace late night escapades. Baby monitors compete with their other favorite toys for space on the nightstand. Max struggles to reconcile his protective instincts as a new father with his desire to continue their adventurous sex life. Sara wants both the wild passion that brought them together and the stability their child needs. Their relationship hangs in the balance as they discover whether their love can evolve without losing the fire that defines them.
